I'm sorry, you were saying...?

Ahem...sorry, but, the fact of the matter is that you were proved to be wrong on a minor issue and I can't take you at face value any more.

Should I use the Aztecs' interpretation of the eclipse as a more suitable analogy next time?

Sorry you did not prove me wrong. If you had bothered to click on both Loki's parents in the link you yourself provided you would have seen they were giants and not Gods.

The prose and poetic Edda can be read here fully translated and they are the main sources for any knowledge of Scandinavian and Teutonic mythology http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/poe/index.htm and here http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/pre/index.htm

By your silly standard everything you say should be rejected because you both borrow an entirely made up tale by Stephen Hawkings and then turn a half witch half giant into a God. Everyone is wrong occasionally even in subject on which they are expert.

I'm going to respectfully disagree. Just to clarify things, I think comments like these below are unnecessary and detract from what is otherwise an interesting discussion:

Summerland is a materialistic monist and has a very dogmatic personality...You're a known troll who has been banned on multiple forums...There are a lot of things you don't understand, my friend...You have no friends as even in the Astral Pulse staff...You are like a stalker...

Your behaviour here is unacceptable...

Ooops, Sorry. The last comment is actually one I agree with.

I think people should make an effort to be more civil in public. If they want to make comments like these, it should be done in private.

Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world? Morpheus

It truly felt real when it was happening though.... but THIS FEELS REAL TOO.... AND MAYBE IT ISN'T! or is it? It all depends all how you perceive reality and dream. I actually don't see much distinction between the two...

Dreams and waking life are the same "reality". The whole thing is a collective fabrication and we are all quite good at it.

very good and yes it all over the place. I suggest we let Rebecca moderate the forum and ignore the stuff we dont like as Its bound to happen and more from time to time. I would rather let the discussions roll an not let any tiffs between members polarize us in mistakly taking sides. Even getting annoyed with the banter is taking a side so just ignore it all and let them sort it out. Rebecca has the last word and I am sure she can handle it

Who are you I asked, the reply "dont be silly, we are your daughers" many years before they were born

I agree that it hasn't risen to level of moderation. And sure, we all can ignore the noise, but people can also make an effort to tone it down.
